Young’s Modulus Variation Cement Adhesives Thermal Action in LRHS #Sciencefather #Researcherawards
Introduction Lightweight radiant heating systems (LRHSs) rely heavily on the performance of deformable cement adhesives , as these materials replace conventional screeds and act as the primary bonding layer between the thermal insulation and floor surface. The mechanical stability of these adhesives under temperature variation is crucial, especially when exposed to thermal actions between 30 °C and 50 °C. Changes in Young’s modulus (E) significantly influence the structural behavior of these systems, potentially leading to interface failure , reduced layer integrity, and delamination . Understanding how adhesives such as C2S1 and C2S2 respond to thermal conditions is essential for predicting system durability and improving structural safety in modern heating system applications. Thermal Influence on Young’s Modulus of Cement Adhesives The thermal sensitivity of cement adhesive mortars presents a key focus for research, particularly in the context of LRHSs where temperature fluct...
